If you spend 5 minutes with me, talking about my classroom, you will learn how much I LOVE Reader's & Writer's Workshop! Not only do I love it, but so do my students. Two years ago, instead of doing "fun" activities on the last day of school my class requested and voted (I was sure it would lose in a democratic heads-down vote) to do Reader's Workshop instead of the fun activities! I know, crazy, right?

I've also been really excited and seen great results with Math Workshop. The only thing I have been disappointed or miffed at, was the lack of materials and ideas for it (although, I do have to admit, there has been A LOT more this summer on Pinterest). One of the organizational items I really like about Reader's and Writer's Workshop are the binders/folders to organize all of their learning and thinking. So, that got me to thinking, why not do this for math too? Such a simple idea to make me happy, it sort of upsets me it took me this long to think of it!

If you are interested in organizing your own Math Notebook, click here, to see how I've organized mine (or download mine, it is FREE on Teachers Pay Teachers).

It's now going to be a place my students place their "I Can" statements, resources, copies of anchor charts, independent work, and our math journals! I can not wait to be super organnized next year!
